France decries UN Security Council ‘silence’ on Syria

Share:

French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe on Sunday decried the “silence” of the UN Security Council on Syria’s deadly crackdown on protests, saying the situation was becoming “intolerable”.

“The massacre continues, the silence of the Security Council too. This situation is becoming intolerable,” he said at a press conference during a visit to Myanmar.

In October, Russia and China vetoed a Western draft resolution that would have condemned Bashar al-Assad’s regime. Russia later circulated an alternative that would have pointed the finger at both sides.

UN chief Ban Ki-moon on Sunday issued a call to Assad to stop killing his people.

The United Nations estimates more than 5,000 people have been killed in Syria as Assad’s forces crack down on anti-regime protests now in their 10th month.

The government says far fewer have been killed while accusing “armed terrorist gangs” backed by foreign powers of being responsible for the violence.

“The repression has not ceased. The violence is still at work. The Arab League has given itself until January 19 to assess the situation. I strongly hope that it will make a report that is as objective as possible that it can communicate to the Security Council,” Juppe said.

“I hope like others that the Arab League does not get bogged down in its observation mission,” added the minister, whose country is a permanent member of the Security Council.

A team of Arab League monitors has been in Syria since December 26 trying to assess the regime’s implementation of the peace agreement signed by both sides aimed at ending violence in the country.

According to a UN official, 400 people have been killed since the beginning of the Arab League mission.

      5th,
      Have you read the actual text of resolution 1701? It never called for disarming anyone.It is a misconception among many people that 1701 called for HA to lay down its arms.
      Good day .

        who cares what 1701 stipulates….We the Lebanese want them disarmed first and foremost, and they will be disarmed…whether its the hard way or the easy way will be up to the suicidal fanatics that call the shots in Iran…But let it be known that the harder they resist disarmament, and if any blood is shed in the process than they will have 0 chance of recovering as a political party or anything really in the after math…good day

          I’m Lebanese and I don’t want them disarmed… yet. Eventually yes, but not now. They earned the right to keep their arms from the government… from Hariri himself. Until there is a guarantee that Israel won’t invade us, and until they withdraw from all south Lebanese land (according to our PM we are still occupied) we need their arms. Sure, we could just disarm them and make peace, but at what cost? Our dignity. We would then turn a blind eye to Israel’s gross violations of human rights, rampant systemic racism, and to all the Lebanese killed in their own homes by Israel. You can’t be weak with a neighbor as radical as Israel. I don’t trust them, nor will I until a free Palestinian state exists. Then we can talk about disarming HA.

          Israels human rights violations? ah well I only care about Lebanon, and what about the crimes committed by HA against the Lebanese? turn a blind eye? at what cost our dignity? what about Syrias violations of our Nation? eventually disarmed are you for real? that doesn’t make any sense…dont forget what happened to Lebanon in 2006, HA is a Zionist tool to keep us living in fear and anticipation of the potential threat of a zionist invasion, OPEN YOUR EYES! HA is not for Lebanon man, IT is for Radical Islam #1 and for Iran #1 and Lebanon just happens to be the place they squat…time for the Lebanese patriots and the Lebanese brave to step up the pressure.

        Have YOU read UNSCR 1701, i would like to bring your attention to,: 

        ” full implementation of the relevant provisions of the Taif Accords, and of resolutions 1559 (2004) and 1680 (2006), that require the disarmament of all armed groups in Lebanon, so that, pursuant to the Lebanese cabinet decision of 27 July 2006, there will be no weapons or authority in Lebanon other than that of the Lebanese State;”

          Beiruti, Welcome back.
          Taief agreement recognized the resistance and didn’t consider it as  an armed group which had been involved the the civil war. The purpose(According toTaief accord) of disarming armed group was to end the civil wars. All subsequent  Lebanese cabinets,including The previous one headed by Saad Hariri have recognized the resistance and did not consider  it an armed militia to be disarmed according to thee Taif Accord.This is not a personal opinion, it is simply a fact. 
          As for 1559 and 1680 resolutions, They did call on all militias and armed groups to lay down their Arms, But this interpretation was not  that of the Lebanese cabinets since the arms of Ha was not considered a militia arms. It has been a thin line ,and until a Lebanese government officially says that the HA is a militia, then Lebanon is not bound by the interpretation of the International community. After all Lebanon is considered,at least by all of its Governments, to be an independent state.
          Israel has ignored many UN resolutions  when those resolutions were as clear as the blue skies,by calling the occupations illegal and  oppressive, yet Israel follows what it considers to be its Godly order.Again,Beiruti, this is a fact,and not a personal opinion.

          Now, I might be asking for an insult from you.lol

        Yes Prohettttttt …. I actually have the PDF of it (the whole 1701) on my computer … downloaded freely from the UN website ….  but I’ll give you this quote of one paragraph from the 4-page document.

        “full implementation of the relevant provisions of the Taif Accords, and of

        resolutions 1559 (2004) and 1680 (2006), that require the disarmament of all

        armed groups in Lebanon, so that, pursuant to the Lebanese cabinet decision of

        27 July 2006, there will be no weapons or authority in Lebanon other than that

        of the Lebanese State;”

        Of course, Hezzy’s hadn’t done their ‘coup’ at that time …. but no-one seems to have read the resolution … they just argue constantly about what they would like to believe it reads.

    All militias must disarm that is what documents read, Taif Accord in 1989, which set out the power sharing agreement between Lebanon’s confessional sects is also part of the model of disarming any Malitias group.
    Resolution 1747 and order 13441 0f 2007 also form part that ALL MALITIAS TO DISARM.
    1701 is only one part of the story you have 3 other main documents that also state the disarming of all Malitias.

    But HA argue that everyone must follow the papers including Isreal but they don’t need to do anything and will not disarm.
    It’s like saying we run the show and the people and don’t give a shit what happens to Lebanon or it’s people.

      you can say all you like about not wanting the land but you will not convince anyone expect pple like your kind.

      the zionists entity’s application on the ground simply contradicts your claims here. so do not speak in their names when they do not believe/apply ur diagreement of more land.

      is the Golan heights part of palestine?
      even the way they built that wall contradicts your argument.

      the zionists plans for the future are no secret…. perhaps you should revise it you probably have forgotten.

      but let me tell you this…if you think that after-the-war-lebanese would put their hands with the zionists because they share the same enemy, then think again.

      if you think aafter-the-arab-spring pple would not persue palestine liberation, then think again.

      the zionists plans for the future are no secret…. perhaps you should revise it you probably have forgotten.

      but let me tell you this…if you think that after-the-war-lebanese would put their hands with the zionists because they share the same enemy, then think again.

      if you think aafter-the-arab-spring pple would not persue palestine liberation, then think again.

      yes we do not like HA but we hate, absolutely hate the zionists who caused all the region’s problems because of their treacherous racist land grabbing attitude.
